Observing the progression of DHH's Linux journey has been entertaining, and I don't mean that in a condescending way! A mix of lighthearted enjoyment, and anticipation of which part of the tech tree is next for him. Will the next rabbit hole he stumbles into be immutable distros? If so, will he take the Silverblue path or the NixOS path?

And so on.



Yes, agree. It reminded me of my toddlers, when they learned walking (also in a non condescending way). I hope he discovers FreeBSD next.


I floated the idea of using Nix for Omakub but he rather emphatically shot the idea down.

Choosing whimsical tools instead of the most useful tools is kind of DHHs thing though, like still using Rails in 2025.
